Über diesen Titel

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Spider Network by David Enrich, read by Mike Chamberlain.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year

The Spider Network is the almost-unbelievable and darkly entertaining inside account of the Libor scandal – one of the biggest, farthest-reaching financial scams since the global financial crisis – written by the only journalist with access to Tom Hayes before he was sentenced to fourteen years in prison. Full of exclusive details, and with ramifications that stretch right across the British establishment, this is a gripping, real-life story of outlandish characters and reckless greed in the City of London.

By turns a rollicking account of the scandal and also a provocative examination of a financial system that was crooked throughout, The Spider Network is a perfect read for fans of The Wolf of Wall Street and The Big Short.

Kritikerstimmen

Anyone with an interest in financial services and in what has gone wrong will find The Spider Network compelling. (Daniel Finkelstein)
a surprisingly human narrative … truly memorable … a vivid depiction of the ethos of the core financial institutions upon which the global economy depends
a model of investigative financial writing... a more satisfying read than THE BIG SHORT by Michael Lewis
will snare you in its web of deceit, lies, corruption, manipulation and colourful characters. [a] brilliant investigative exposé
supremely gripping ... a thrilling tour de force of reporting, revelation and reasoning ... unmissable
An incredibly entertaining, globe-straddling inside account of how one trader turbocharged a greedy cabal that scammed savers and borrowers everywhere. A must read if you want to understand how big banks and traders really work
Equally entertaining and illuminating … Enrich’s brilliant depiction … owes to deep reporting, deft writing, and a nuanced approach that characterizes the entire book… First-rate.
how did a socially awkward English math whiz mastermind manipulation of lending rates on a global scale? And was Tom Hayes truly the mastermind, or just a cog in a corrupt banking system? In David Enrich’s gripping tale, the characters have nicknames worthy of the Mafia, and their ethical compasses aren't much better
gripping and disturbing ... It reads like a thriller and has some hilarious moments, whilst raising important questions about the nature of our financial and judicial systems
David Enrich is a masterful story teller ... Michael Lewis has a new rival
